Style Swellness: Augustina boutique launches online shopping

Augustina Boutique handbags Loeffler Randall and Rebecca Minkoff

I’m in Toronto’s chic Yorkville neighbourhood at least once a week for events or errands. And I always make it a point to scurry on by Augustina, averting my eyes from the stunning clothes and accessories calling my name from the window as I’m trying to curtail my shopping… Sometimes I’m successful, and sometimes not so much.

But now they’ve launched an e-commerce site — and I may as well just give up on trying to be good. Loeffler Randall, Rebecca Minkoff, Me & Ro and so many other gorgeous goods all so easily accessible at my fingertips? Oh my.

Shipping and returns will be simple, too, since it’s all here in Canadaland.

What items are you coveting? The Loeffler Randall Rider handbag is at the top of my wishlist.

Style Swellness: A new cardio workout

Wildfox Shopping is My Cardio t-shirt Asos

After I run my marathon in May (my third in about 18 months — that’s essentially constant training for a year and a half, yo), I may relax it on the running.

And I think I’ve found my new sport πŸ™‚

Travel Swellness: WANT Passport

Want Passport

Having spent a fair amount of time in airports in the last couple of years, anything that makes the time more than just pleasant but actually enjoyable is something I welcome more than NKOTB and Backstreet Boys touring together (OK, maybe that’s an slight exaggeration — nothing beats NKOTBSB πŸ™‚ But this comes pretty darn close to that heavenly joint boy band in my eyes.

Introducing WANT Passport, three boutiques in the Billy Bishop airport in Toronto. Brought to us by the people behind the brand WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie and the WANT Apothecary, the stylish shops sell covet-worthy items; goods so covetable that your friends and family might want you scrambling to buy them a gift from your trip from these shops rather than anywhere else during your travels.

From the chic WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie handbags and accessories and to-die-for (and hard to find in Canada) beauty goods from the brand Aesop (I am in love with the Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm)Β to the sleek Persol sunglasses, now you have a stylish spot to shop in over at Billy Bishop once you’re done noshing on the lounge’s complimentary almonds and cookies.
